US President Donald Trump took a major economic decision against China on Saturday (11 October 2025). He announced that from November 1, 2025, 100 percent tariff will be imposed on products coming from China. This tax will also be applicable on those items on which duty is already being charged. This decision means that now American consumers and companies may have to pay double the price for Chinese goods than before.
Trump also announced that export controls on critical software will be implemented from November 1. Its purpose is to prevent China from getting easy access to American technology. This step has been taken in response to the recent restrictions imposed by China on the export of rare earth minerals. These minerals are considered very important in electronics, defense and energy sectors.
China has become very aggressive: Trump
Donald Trump, while sharing a long message on his social media platform Truth Social, said that China is now acting very aggressively. He wrote that China is sending letters to the countries of the world to impose export controls on many goods, especially rare earth minerals. Trump said that this policy will have a serious impact on the global market and supply chain. He said that this policy of China will create problems for every country, because rare earth minerals are used in mobiles, electric vehicles, computer chips and defense equipment.
America will not become China’s prisoner: Trump
Trump said that China’s aim is to hold the world economically hostage, but America will not let this happen. He described the restrictions imposed by China on the export of rare earth minerals as “sinister and hostile steps”. Trump said that China had been working on this strategy for a long time and now its real intentions have come to light.
America also has counter power
In his statement, Trump also said that America also has such monopoly rights which can have a greater impact than China. He said that till now these rights had not been used, but America is ready to use them if the circumstances change. According to Trump, China has sent a detailed letter to many countries which contains a list of minerals on which export ban has now been imposed.
Trump-Xi meeting canceled, meeting will not take place in APEC conference
Trump also told that his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was scheduled during the APEC summit to be held in South Korea, but now it will not happen. He said that in the present situation this meeting has no meaning. America will wait for China’s response and after that further strategy will be decided.
Start of new trade war?
After this statement, the stir in international politics has intensified. Many experts believe that this step of Trump could be the beginning of a new trade war between America and China. This tension can affect global trade, technology industry and energy sector.
Potential impact on the global economy
Economic analysts say that increasing US tariffs on China will have a major impact on the global supply chain and manufacturing industry. If China retaliates, the conflict could spread to semiconductor, automobile, defense and energy sectors. Earlier too, an increase in inflation was seen due to trade disputes between America and China. Now that both countries are at the center of technological competition, this dispute may deepen further.
